Such poise.
Such grace.
So much manliness.
All hail the great and grand Kim Jong Un, who absolutely 100% doesn’t suffer from a vicious case of ‘Small Man Syndrome’.
As is customary in North Korea, the state propaganda machine has rolled out another documentary fawning over the dictator and heralding his ‘achievements’ over the past year.
Running to 110 minutes, The Great Year Of Victory, 2021 does manage to provide some moments of comedic relief.
Sky News reports:
[It] showcased the North Korean leader’s successes in missile development, construction, and efforts to beat the pandemic…
“Kim Jong Un,” the narrator said, “showed us his fatherly side by doggedly braving snow, rain, and wind while taking on the fate of the nation.
“He treated people like his own children, showing his motherly side, where he completely dedicated his own body to realise people’s dreams.”
This is likely a reference to his weight loss which received coverage around the globe.
Horses feature prominently – there’s a beach ride (Seth did it first) to start, more riding from the 2:10 mark, and again from 4:30.
Please make sure you watch the final 30 seconds of this because it’s rather spectacular:
I’ll make it really easy for you – this bit:

Quite something, right?
When it comes to fragile egos I can only think of one former US president who would give Kim a run for his money.
